MANY people are unable to distin-
guish the difference between anarchism,
socialism and communism, and for this
reason Webster's defination of these
terms becomes a matter of interest.
Anarchy, he says, ''is want of
government; the state of society where
there is no law or supreme power, OF
where the laws are not efficient, and
individuals do what they please with
impunity; political confu sion.''
Socialism is "a theory of society
which advocates more precise, or
DERBY, and harmonious arrangement of
the social relations of mankind than
that which has hitherto prevailed;
communism
Communism is 1.-The recognizing OF
society, or the doctrine that it should
be reorganized. by regulating prop
erty, industry, and the sources of live
lihood, and also the domestic relations
and social morals of mankind; social
ism; especially the doctrine of a COM
munity of property, or the negation OF
individual rights in property"
1t may be said that a majority of
those who profess to be anarchists,
socialists and communists have about
as indeflnate an idea of what they
want as those who believe in the
existing order of society have of their
purposes.

BEFORE REDUCTION.

PENSIONS BEFORE REDUCTION.
From a free trade and partisan stand
point, yesterdays message of President
Cleveland is very able and plausible
document. But, when we remember
that it was his hand that wrote the
message vetoing the bill to pension
union soldiers over certain age who
were unable to make living for them
selves, while in almost the same breath
he freely signed another somewhat sim
lar but more liberal measure for the
benefit of veterans of the Mexican war,
we must be of the opinion that the doc
ument of yesterday is, to certain ex-
tent, a. strictly Old-style democratic
document, and that IL will be riddled
and torn to pieces ere congress gets
through with it.
When President Cleveland has con-
scented to measures that shall put the
soldier who risked his life for his coun-
try ,on a par with the money loaned by
bond holders, then it will be time
enough to talk of reducing the revenue
But until every measure is taken Il
equalize this injustice, no reduction
should be made-as it is not necessary
until then.
For every dollar that the bond hold
ers loaned the government they hav'
received back the face value in gold
with interest on interest.
How is it with the soldier? H,
loaned the government his life. tn,
lives of his family whom he left a
home; and the bond given him wa
that he should receive from S13 to $16
month, and that his family should b
we'll taken care of in case he returne'
not.
Have these promises been filed? Nc
Not one of them. Even the wages b
was paid were given him in currenc
deprecated SO that it took nearly thre
dollars of it to buy one dollar Of tn
kind Of money the bond-holders wer
paid in. And yet this man who want
a revenue reduced because it is eausin
an accumulation in the treasury tina
threatens to endanger the entir
country, refused to sign bill calcU
culated to do only partial justice t
these soldiers who saved the countr
which he has the honor to preside ovel
But we venture to predict that Nj
Cleveland will take time to think Ell
he dares veto the pension bill that wi
be handed to him for his signatuI
before the next presidential election.

Justice Harlan at Washington settles
"A long-standing question, and may be
accounted the grandest victory so far
gained by the prohibitionists. The
effect of the decision is to declare valid

lieves the state from liabilities as COM
pensation for damages caused by such
destruction.

SINCE the publication of the names
of purchasers of liquid poison at our
drug stores, it has been suggested that
the prohibition sentiment in Emporia
is somewhat of the same order as that
of the Irishman who had been induced
to sign a temperance pledge while at
tending an exciting temperance revival
under the leadership of the famous
Father Matthew. The reverend gen.
tleman met his convert early next
morning staggering along under a pretty
good load of bug juice" and, accost-
ing him, asked if he had not signed the
pledge the previous evening. Faith 1
did, your honor, but then I'd have yez
know I'm no fanatic" replied Pat, as
he staggered off for another bowl.

Now that we have a law
in Kansas that allows people to take a
little ''for their stomach sake and their

quite regular in their habits. Among
the many names registered as pur-
chasers of liquor, however we fail to
find that of one of the ladies who

This seems queer to some. But the

IT has come to a pretty pass in a
free country that when lady goes to
a drug store and purchases medicine,
by order Of her family physician, for
dying child, that foreign fanatic, and
possible anarchist-as both ara of the
same breed-should publish her name
to the world as a whisky drinker. Yet
just such an injustice has been per-
petrated in our midst, and the author
of it is attempting to pose in the atti-
tude of a martyr to the cause of tenn
perance, while in really his being
fanatic is his only stock in trade.
Such blackguard scheme, if started
in every city in Kansas, would defeat
prohibition in less than no time.

SOME Englishmen have a good deal
more sense on the tariff question than
many Americans. Henry Labouchere
of the London Truth says: 81 am no
fanatical free-trader; 1 am one geo
graphically. If had been an Ameri-
can 1 should have been a protectionist.
Being an Englishman, am free
trader. If were Canadian ! should
advocate customs union with the
United States, although, as an English
man, 1 should be sorry if this union
were effected. The mistake of politi-
cal economy is to suppose that it is
based on principles of universal appli-
cation. My reason, as an Englishman,
for being free-trader is not any theo-
retical admiration for free trade, but
because we should lose more than we
should gain by protection"

1t is asserted by Philadelphia papers
that President Cleveland is on par with
any alien, so far as his right to vote is
concerned; that for two years past he
has not voted, and that as he gave
up his right to vote in Buffalo at the
time he gave up his residence there,
he therefore cannot cast his ballot, the
residents Of the District of Columbia
being like Susan b., deprived of suf-
frage. This is something that has never
heretofore happened to any president
of the United States. The cause is
said to be spite on the part of Cleve-
land because the citizens of Buffalo,
and even in his own ward and precinct,
where he should be best known, refuse
to indorse him or his party at the ballot
box
